Re: Client Access question

I didn't know about the KeepAlive=Y, and think that might be a good and 
easy idea, but there might be two other possibilities as well.
A couple of minutes seems awful short. There should be some VPN timeouts 
that can be adjusted. I can't speak for them all, but know that some do.

Also, on the AS/400 there are two places to check that might work for ALL 
sessions. I have had some luck with this once.
CHTTCPA TCPKEEPALV() - this default to 120 minutes. Note that it is in 
minutes, not seconds.
and
CHGTELNA TIMMRKTIMO() - this defaults to *CALC, and I don't know how it 
calculates it, but note that it is in seconds, not minutes.

   Using Windows Explorer, drill down to the Private folder in the client
   access folder tree. Locate your session.WS file. Right click on it, and
   open it with notepad. In the TN5250 section, insert a KeepAlive=Y
   statement, then save and exit.
 
   That should solve that problem.
 
   In iSeries Access, I almost always add an IP address connection for
   printer sessions, or I will modify the hosts file in Windows. Printer
   sessions seem to work better if you provide an IP address or a name 
from
   within the hosts file. I don't know why, that's just my experience. You
   should also put a keep alive statement in that .WS file.

     Subject: Client Access question

     I am doing contract work from my home equipment attached to the
     company's Model 520

     I have a PC  XP Pro attached to the Internet through a Netgear 
gateway
     router.  Client access sessions
     start fine, but if I switch to another one or leave it for more than 
a
     couple minutes, (going to another session
     or to a word document) it disconnects me. Is there a setting we can
     change that will reduce the number of
     drops.

     I am also having trouble setting up my printer to work with client
     access. I have an HP1100dtn attached to the
     network. The router is set up to use DNS.  When I configure a Client
     Access printer session, it tells me it is doing it
     but comes up with CWBCO1004 saying it can not determine the IP 
address
     of the server. The message says to
     check the DNS I should use ping. If I ping anything, it all works
     instantly.

     Can anyone give me some direction to resolve this problem?

     Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
